lo .all 'whom/it 'may concern.: i

it .known that L DAVID Uranio, o. citizen of the United States, and resident ot Titelin the county of lrlidcllesex zinfl State ,uuaachusettsD .have invented new and useful improvements in Stools for Water# Closets, of which the following is :i specification.

My invention relates to stools for waiter closet@t und. its object is to provide :in iinproi'ed article of this Class.

toolri for unter closets, as heretofore non strueteri, have usuallyY comprised ufreut man3" inetiil parts, Such as hinges, bolts ,und the .like exteriorly located which in time here tended heroine discolored, unsiohtly und unsanitiiry. Another existing tisfful vanto-ge lbeen the absence ot prm'iaion 'liz eli'l` Wely preventing obje* ,onnble orionerepiug troni the bowl into the rooni i-n which the bowl is located. i still further problem hun been the keeping ot the seaty ot the Stool clean und presontable :for use. The principal objeote ot my invention are to ob- 'Viate these objectionable tentures, :nul also to improve otherV-.f'iee the Construction ot' Stool "for unter Closets.

My inngrot'ed stool which is preferably otI porcelain ooinpriues' n, bowl discharging through ai tropehuped outlet, :is usual; but one oit itS distinguishing teutnrenl is that n, skirt depending from the basin surroundf; :incl ino-loss the lower portion ot Suid basin :and the trap, so that not, onliI is it plei und neat appearance. given to the litting' concealing the pipe oonnocliflni but. :in inolonerl Space is provided Within the skirt closed ut. its top by the basin :it itis sicleS by the skirt und at its` bottom by the floor or base upon which the bowl is Set. Thig Chamber can be utilized to' contain tho parts of the ilnshing apparatus. In the best form of my invention the Chamber Within the .wirt performs still another function. It

communicates with the basin through zi oon-` duit which opens :it one end into the basin at u point above the normal water 'level therein and zit its other end into said ohnmloer :it :L point above the rini ot' the basin.; so that should the trop Clog', :xml the hnsin o\ertlo\rjq noue ot the liquid (contenteA ot the lutter il enter tho chamber within the skirt. The Chamber ithin the skirt is adapted to be connected through :i suitable rery i "which zi dritti croutetl from the bowl through the conduit, connecting the latter with the chamber Within the skirt, and from the lutter through said outld.. into the hot nir tlue or tho like, thus carrying oli'l ohjeetionublo odors.

Another distingoiihinkiA feature of in); in vention eonsi in providing the bowl with i two .#:irletl reversible sont so arranged that when the top Side olf the sont. is soiled the sont. f'zin he reversed to present the other Side 'for uw. This Construction also :ulinits oif thoroughlyT elearning the entire te-tit, not only on both illes but on in; pivot porti; wliieh is imprimible unless the :wat he reniorubf Other tentures ot iny intention are horeinuttor pointe-,il out. i

ln the wenn?,hanging ruufingni which shun' one @Minot/limoni; of nl y invention:

, being shown in section on the plane imhouterl in lfig. l by the line F' is u soetioiuil plain niet@ tho upper hull' lieing; tulien on the piane of line 3-"3 ol Figi: l und the lower huit beingl token on tho plane of line im 0,11 of Fig'. l, Fig. #l if; :i section on line tml of Fig. l. Fig 5 :i plain View ot the sirleil eurer hereinafter described. G is :i alot' l hereinafter leserihed.

` 'i' :i sullo elevation pn'lrtly broken away.

imfing ro ence to the {lrzm'ings l repre Soins the howl ot my improved stool, sind howl (inclini-ging into n trui) Shaped pipo :3 :is usunh but in this une pipe f terminates :it its lower end in two concentric Hongos S, if which intorinesh with two flanges, i, l it the top of u, pipo 5 lending to the serve The Space between the flanges l, fr serves :in annular ireepturle to liolcl :i sea-ling tluid such :is i'i'ieroury or Water. This provides a Seal of the type und operating in the sinne manner as the seal Shown und described in Letters Patent of the United States No. TQST, grunted to me April 2l, ,i9 P1.

liitofrrel with tho bowl l. is :t shirtJ 7 which compl-@tolti eneirot the litting, but. at the ti-ont oil the bowl trie siiirt nood only surrouiul the 'tower portion thereof though il ileoirerl it. may depend from the upper edge of the howl. rt the rezir the uliirt first ei;-

Ontletwith :i het air flue or the like b] l lends upward over ii trough 8 und then liov in 'any suitable manner.

The stool above described requires no bolts, screws, or other fastenings to keep it in place. It is held with suiiieient security by the engagement. of the operating handle and regulator of the flushing apparatus with holes 18 and 19 and by the engagement of bosses 1Gb with skirt 7, ln addition to the advantages above pointed out it will be seen that the stool 1nay be installed 'by simply setting itupon base 'lil and connecting the flushing` apparatus, thus saving a large part of the trouble, inconvenience und danger of breakin-'gr incident to the installation ot stools as hitim to constructed. That l claim is l. fr stool for water closets comprising` a bowl rnadeoviith a` t surri'niuding the same, and a conduit having a point of eleva-v tion above the rimerc the bowl, and coininunicating at one end with the interior ot the bowl at a point above the norinal water level therein, and at its other end with the interior of the skirt.
